How Diamond Teams® Work

Diamond Teams are a revolutionary way to organize financial advisors using the core principles of effective organizational strategy and behavior. Picture a baseball diamond: at the top, on second base is a senior advisor (usually the firm owner, partner, or rainmaker), on first and third bases are lead advisors (sometimes also called service advisors) who work directly with clients; and at the bottom on home plate is an associate advisor.

As the client base grows, the Diamond Team grows and expands naturally. Each advisor works together on clients creating stronger bonds with clients of the firm. We’ve found that Diamond Teams greatly reduces the risk of advisors leaving the firm, and taking clients with them. Clients who have grown used to, and come to appreciate the Team approach tend to think of “the Team” as their advisor, and are far less likely to follow one individual team member out the door.
